What can i do to study better? Tips for success: Obstacles to overcome: Tips for success: reading relevant text pages before class, avoiding distractions, making sure that notes are not ‘circular’, including HOW and WHY in answers, using case examples when asked to do so, completing questions under timed conditions, watching teaching bubble videos, watching Edrolo videos – and completing relevant questions, using the study design as a ‘bible’, using text book and other notes as ‘resources’ to critically evaluate. Obstacles to overcome: Playing catch up on class notes and worksheet activities, being circular with my explanations, writing brief answers, not linking theory to case study when required, listening to loud music when studying, writing out someone else’s notes without critically evaluating and linking to study design outcomes.
